Sports and technology have always progressed hand in hand as new mediums for bringing sports to the masses emerge over time. From radio broadcasts to television; from the VCR to HD online streams on computers and cellphones, sports broadcasts have readily adopted new tech to attract new consumers. Virtual reality (VR) has now piqued the interest of sports broadcasters as a new exciting medium to attract audiences. VR suits can be worn to simulate running down a football field avoiding tacklers. VR accessories can be adapted to golf clubs to simulate being out there with a famous golfer. Best of all these can be added to home broadcasts or stadiums as VR attractions for paying crowds.

"These mediums are advancing every day allowing us the ability to build the ultimate fan experience. In the near future, we will purchase products in real-time as we watch live events through VR. This is the first time in history when sports technology gives us the edge not only in training, or observation but also in fan engagement."

Few people will bother using them, unless they can use VR while still sitting on the couch drinking a beer.

The future of VR is interactive experiences, not passive content consumption. First person to field a good interactive VR porn app with touch feedback is going to be rolling in money -- as long as the VR gear can be sanitized after each use.

If you look on Amazon there are all types of VR accessories that you can attach the Vive Tracker to. It is a "puck" that allows you to attach it to a golf club to create a golf simulator for example. Or a baseball bat. Your imagination is the only limitation really. Now you can run multiple Vive headsets off a few sensors to create virtual battlefields. Toss on some pressure sensitive outfits with force feedback and you could have a really nice simulation going.

Of course porn sells. ;)
